Very entertaining throughout, given the pacing of the reveals. I was concerned, having seen the movie (several times) and knowing a few major plot points, would spoil things, but I think that actually enhanced my enjoyment. In some cases I knew what...more

“And don't tell me the end justifies the means because it doesn't. We never reach the end. All we ever get is means. That's what we live with.”

“His grandfather was scathing about "speculative faith," which is the kind you get from worrying about the possibility that God exists and may be cross with you.
